Kiowa have been splitting light by shining polarised light through a prism.
Amazingly, we found white light is made up of the colours of the spectrum - we made rainbows!
While investigating light, we looked at reflections and how optic fibres work.
We conducted an experiment into making white light by putting the colours of the spectrum back together, can you see white appearing?
Our colour wheel spinning really fast and making white.
The same colour wheel when it's still - you could try this experiment at home.
Kiowa have been investigating colour by using a technique called chromatography.
We've also learnt to use a new piece of equipment called a pippet.
We've been blending the old with the new using dictionaries and Chromebooks to research new vocabulary.
Kiowa have continued to learn about famous art styles.
Kiowa have been finding out about famous artists and investigating their style - here we're looking at Van Gogh's bold style using watercolour.
We've been reading six figure grid references linked to our learning about emergency services in disaster areas.
We designed and made emergency storm shelters for the charity Shelter Box.
We thought about location and practicality.
We even learnt about what knots are best to tie.
We used Starry Night as one of our inspirations for our pictures.
Using a colour wheel helped us match the colours.
Different brush strokes were needed compared to pointilism.
We looked at the composition and how we might make the picture have 'movement'.
The colours of Starry NIght were important to match.
Using limited resources, we made shelters to a design brief following the storm.
We learnt a range of useful knots to order to secure the shelters.
The design had to keep us dry in the following rain.
It was important to work together as a team.
Working in pairs, we have begun to explore developing routines, holding different gymnastic balances.
Working as a team to get the 'Ball of Doom' from one side of the field to the other.
The ball could roll quickly or slowly, the problem was to organise the people.
Using our field to build relationships with a game where only short pieces of pipe could be used.
Using planks to cross the dreaded 'Lava Lagoon', setting foot on the grass meant back to the start.
Working together as a team.
Using planks to cross the lava took good team work.
Passing the beams needed care and attention.
Different teams had different methods.
Working together closely helped develop communication skills.
Getting across 'alive' meant not touching the floor.
The challenge not to fall took balance.
